Gavin Bryant says his house looks so much better than it did after he shot video of it after Sunday’s fire. CAL FIRE made a series of retardant drops during an aggressive firefight in Moreno Valley Sunday saving several homes in the Box Springs Mountain area where more than 1000 acres burned. “The coating was so thick – you couldn’t see through the window,” Gavin Bryant said. “It looked kind of like goo. You know like slime. Like it came from Scooby Doo or something like that.” But neighbors here aren’t complaining. Fire crews saved their homes. Then, surprising everyone, they came back and washed backyards and driveways. In all, they helped to clean up at least 20 homes.
